Lizzie has always growled at Major a little with food but now it seems to be getting really bad!!!!
I mean what is up with her?!?!?!?!?! Let me tell you the whole story.....
Lizzie has JUST started to have VERY bad aggression torward our other dog Major, Yesterday they were playing and they usaully play rough (i.e. barking, play bitting, crying, growling) but they never were fighting, and now the other day they REALLY got in to it and I think they were fighting but I went out there and told they to cut it out and they stopped but she has REALLY been on him lately!!!! I mean REALLY growling at him when I have treats out for them and am just giving them treats she will go over to him and just start growling and barking and bitting his lips!!!
Problem... SHe is getting worse with the food aggression with him and they have started to fight(just bearly but I want to correct it now before it gets worse)
What I have been doing to correct it.... when ever she goes ever to him and gets aggressive with food I go over to MAJOR and put my arms around him so she can not get to him and I love on him make NO eye contact with Lizzie and ignore her totally, then Lizzie usally cries for a few mins then will be quiet and I love on her and praise her and she is happy.
Shouls I keep doing this.....I REALLY REALLY need help, WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!!!
